yes, but those who were not near the camps (or rail networks) might not have been aware of what occured inside them.
Just about everyone in Germany and German-occupied countries was aware of concentration camps as punishment camps. (After all, Dachau had been opened in March 1933 amid considerable publicity). However, very few people knew about the extermination camps, which existed solely for the purpose of killing.
Many were sent to 'relocation camps' which turned out to be death camps.
Relocation camps were camps where people were kept. Mostly Jews were kept there, but there were other people. They were sent there because Germany and the Nazis hated them!
Answer this question… Both served as prisons for people the Nazis saw as dangerous or inferior.
After Hitler died the Nazis lost and after that the allies helped people in death camps and concentration camps
Because the ruling power in Germany wanted them gone.
the main tragedy people are aware of in the holocaust, many jews were killed in them
Concentration camps were in areas Germany and controlled, mainly Germany and Poland.
Concentration camps :)
yes and no. they went to Germany and came across concentration camps on luck. the holocaust was an event not a thing you can find. the German citizens may have been aware of this and told us soldiers though.
Nazi Germany created the extermination camps on occupied Polish territory. (Germany had invaded Poland in September 1939).
Germany's allies, known as the axis, did not free the prisoners in camps. The allied armies freed the prisoners.
